Cultural transmission of traditional ecological knowledge about natural resources, enlightenment through education, influence of a naturalist's activities on his or her followers, also an individual's inborn philia towards nature. These are all my observations though. Regards.
We need to develop an understanding of diverse ways of knowing and seeing local as well as global issue. We must know the causes and effects of global issues and appreciate them the way they are and understand them from different perspectives. That makes us become more sensitive to the environment we live in.
